The proliferation of innovations in information and communication technologies (ICTs) brings exciting, frightening and urgent reflections needed to ensure an ethical and sustainable deployment of these tools. On behalf of both the urgency of issues, including health, the possibilities they inspire and their proliferation in all fields of human society, these ethical considerations, however necessary on ICTs, are regularly relegated to the rank of the answer or of the reaction.This is particularly the case that ICTs are created and deployed at the heart of our societies and human processes often long before it was possible to circumscribe and consider all the issues they pose, and how to respond to them.
